        Emulex is exhibiting at FCTC in booth 101, where the company

        for "thin" servers (1u and 2u heights) and its features
        include large buffer-to-buffer credits, enabling the HBA to
        maintain throughput at distances of up to 20km; and backward
        compatibility with existing 1Gb/s storage networking
        solutions.
